A larger than life robot bird

 After the first model launched in 2007 , Edwin Van Ruymbeke reiterates its
 Remote bionic bird , the Avitron version 2.0. Its wing beats are
 very realistic. Once in the air, the bird robot is very difficult to differentiate
 from his true peers.
The Avitron has a wingspan of 33 cm and a featherweight (that is
 the case to say ) of 8.5 grams. Despite its apparent fragility , it
 cash rather well shocks. This technological marvel
 has a lithium polymer battery that powers a potent
 ing motor. To take off , simply hold the
 in one hand, and to beat its wings with its télécomman-
 of . The bird then takes off very easily. However, it is
 recommended to use the outdoor Avitron because he can not stay
 hover.
 Its plastic wings are fixed to a movable carbon rod.
 They stretch and relax with the rudder near the tail. The latter can stand up and
 stoop to control the speed of the bird.
 On the remote control , the wheel left allows you to beat the wings of Avitron , and the right wheel is used to
 turn the bird in the desired direction. The remote has a range of 100 meters .
 It is powered by 6 AA batteries and also has a Spread Spectrum connector that can charge
 the bird. The battery recharges in 15 minutes for a flight range of about 7 minutes.
 The Avitron 2.0 is priced at 79 euros .
